POST9PSERVICE(3)

hi bestie 💖 this is post9pservice(3) from the Library Functions Manual — literally the function that posts a 9P service for clients to use. it’s giving “quietly crucial infrastructure” energy, no cap. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

• post9pservice — posts a 9P service so clients can use it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the receipts, exactly as they are, bestie:

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>

int post9pservice(int fd, char *name, char *mtpt)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here’s the tea: post9pservice invokes 9pserve(4) to post a new 9P service in the current “name space” (yes, peep intro(4) for the lore), and that service is named name.

clients that connect to the posted service are multiplexed onto a single 9P conversation with the server on file descriptor fd — one shared conversation, not a bunch of tiny side chats. iconic. 💅

if mtpt is non-nil, post9pservice mounts the service on mtpt, using 9pfuse(4). slay. 🌸
